Harmony & Judah’s ’60s mod math and science wedding

The groom’s polka-dotted shirt, the science-themed temporary tattoos, the giant chalkboard wall full of Feynman Lectures, the astronaut ice cream favors, the bride’s retro dress — these are a few of my favorite things. Ground control to Major Tom: commencing countdown, engines on. Liftoff and see this science and 1960s mod wonderland of a wedding!

Karina & Taylor’s vintage style, music, and zombies wedding

This music-loving pair reunited at a concert and got engaged at a concert! Music is in their bones. But don’t forget their love of vintage style and of course… zombies! It’s a wild mix of styles that all seem to make total sense once you see it. Their solution to a grounds mishap on the venue property is pretty genius. But don’t miss the adorable hot air balloon centerpieces and Shaun of the Dead cake, too. It’s uh… got a little red on it.

Stephanie & James’ Snow White meets Americana retro wedding

A float-y princess gown, some retro stylings, a few train-lover photos, and much much adorableness abounds at this Aussie wedding. We also love the carriage ride, the DIY bits an bobs, and of course, the rainbow sprinkle cake! Add in the blended cultural group dance and impromptu “stair-tripping” game, and you’re in for an easy-going and rad time for all (even if they had to smoosh 130 people into a ceremony space meant for 50!).
